About

Newly crowned Queen Aisya has to find the bracelet of her kingdom of Millinear in order to restore it after the fiend named Salamander put it to ruin. ASH: Archaic Sealed Heat is a game of mixed RPG genres with movement being done as a turn based tactical RPG and the combat itself being carried out in a traditional turn based RPG style. Players can only control up to three characters when in turn based battle. The game also features permadeath so taking care of characters is of utmost importance.
